Haven't had much time for crafting this week until today, so the priority was to make this tag, which luckily fits a couple of challenges - Make My Monday where it is Vintage Childhood, and also Craft Room Challenge which is Childhood Memories.
This tag will adorn a gift for my oldest friend -in fact we met in Junior School! and although we aren't quite as vintage as these children, we did like dressing up, she's the one on the left - cause she's 9 month older than me!!!
The image is Lost Coast 'Prom Night'. The tag was inked, spritzed, stamped, embossed and inked again.
The DI's were Frayed Burlap and Tattered Rose with a little bit of Vintage Photo on the edges of the image.
The words are Crafty Individuals. The rose is cut from a TH Tattered Florals die.
I am also entering this in:

That's it now now, hope you all have a good weekend.
